Sloww Sunday Newsletter 089 (Dec 19, 2021) — 2021 Highlights & Top Posts of the Year
Happy Sunday!
I thought it would be fun to do something a little different with this issue of Sloww Sunday (the normal newsletter format will be back in the next issue). Happy (early) New Year!
🌀 Sloww’s 2021 Highlights
🤔 Sensemaking Myself: This year I spent some time attempting to make sense of my journey and published What is Sloww? along with an overview of Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3.
📧 Sloww Sunday: This newsletter now reaches 7,500+ students of life each week! I’m grateful to be on this lifelong learning adventure with you. If a friend or family member forwarded you this email, you can join us and subscribe for free.
🔒 Sloww Premium: The number of members doubled this year and is on its way toward 1,000+ members from 60+ countries globally! Thank you so much for your ongoing support. To complement the exclusive content, a new member-only online community launched recently. Explore Sloww Premium.
🧠 Synthesizer Course: The bad news is that I’m still working on the course (aiming for January). The good news is that it’s all coming together better than I expected! It will include everything I’ve learned about the art of synthesis, how to cultivate a synthesizing mind, how I synthesize for Sloww, and more. Click here to be notified when it’s live.
🎉 New Year, New Projects: What’s coming in 2022? You can always see what I’m working on now.
PS: Here are 25+ intentional living challenges to start the new year.
